Dollars for Doers:
Charles W. (Bill) Chapman
In 2011, Bill Chapman recorded an
impressive 678 volunteer hours as an
Edmonton Airport Ambassador and
officiating his favorite sport, curling.
Giving back to their community is
something that Bill, and his wife Colleen,
have always made a priority.
When his wife suggested he apply to be a
volunteer at the airport, Bill thought it was
a ploy to get him out of the house. That
was back in 1999 and he’s loved wearing
the Northern Lights uniform every Monday
and Friday night since. “As long as it
doesn’t interfere with curling,” he laughs.
As lifelong curlers, Bill and Colleen became
trained as certified officials in 2000, and
are even busier now that they are players

Another year of bringing
our giving philosophy to life
and umpires. Bill’s time as a player ends
at Christmas. In the second half of the
season, he’s just “too busy officiating and
it just isn’t fair to the team,” he says. For
2012, he’s already officiated at six major
events.
Bill is donating his Dollars for Doers award
to the Stollery Children’s Hospital – an
organization he frequently supports. “We
look to see where we can do the best
good,” Bill explains. “And we give to
the hospital or the Sandra Schmirler
Foundation – both help the really sick
young children.”
Congratulations and thank you, Bill, for all
In 2011, ambassadors volunteered an impressive 150,000 hours to support
TELUS-sponsored and community-based programs and events, and
donated over 63,500 care items, many of them handmade, for those in
need across Canada. It was an outstanding year, thanks to all of you. As
ambassadors, you consistently give your hearts, minds, hands and time to
make the difference for your communities.
Your handmade articles of clothing have kept premature babies and cancer
patients warm and more comfortable. You’ve helped families dealing with
loss and remembered seniors at Christmas. You’ve given school kids
access to technology, and helped improve their literacy by reading together.
Here are just some of the additional highlights ambassadors can be proud of:

Toronto East
The Toronto East Club recently established a
relationship with the Malvern Family Resource
Centre (MFRC). Through various programs, the
Centre assists seniors, youth, men and women,
in addition to running an Early Years centre for
parents and children in the Malvern community.
For holiday fundraising, the Consilium team
members held a wide variety of events including
a bake sale, 50/50 ticket sale, critter sale and
silent auction and generously donated all of the
$1,390 proceeds to the club. The entire donation
was given to the MFRC, where it helped with the
annual holiday dinner/gift event for almost 250
Malvern residents.

Throughout the year, ambassadors made and

that were sent to Vancouver, and packed 240
Kits for Kids with much needed school supplies,
which were distributed to three school districts.
The Christmas Dinner in Courtenay ended
the year on a high note. Instead of food bank
donations, attendees were asked to bring
personal care items for men. Campbell River’s
Second Chance Recovery House appreciated the
two boxes of supplies that were donated. The
dinner also provided us an opportunity to thank
our loyal volunteers.
